KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar dismissed claims by PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar that the government placed 30 Special Branch officers in London.
“This (30 officers) is not true,” Khalid said.
“That number is too big. I am not going reveal how many we have though.
“Please let matters of security be handled by me and the police, and focus on your duties to the public,” Khalid said.
Nurul Izzah, the Lembah Pantai MP, had questioned the need to place a contingent there using public funds, as England did not seem to pose any credible threat to Malaysia’s security.
She made the statement while speaking at a forum on the goods and services tax (GST) in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur on Nov 12.
